Chelsea FC vs Nottingham Forest: Prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results, odds
While one victory does not change the feeling around the campaign as a whole, it does at least offer hope of ending it on a slightly more positive note.
With so little left to play for, it’s hard to know where Chelsea stand. Still, back at Stamford Bridge, it’s important to try and build momentum where possible ahead of a huge season next time out.
Forest, meanwhile, are fighting for their lives but have been so poor away from home all season.
